Abstract :
Variability of an on-body transmission channel at 2.45 GHz is investigated. The propagation path gain was measured for a number of antenna positions and at a number of static human body postures as well as during arbitrary movements. Dependence of the path gain on conformal antenna separation is investigated and probability distributions of the path gain during arbitrary movement are derived
